4. Read and answer the questions:
Do you like autumn?
Hi! I’m Ann and I’d like to tell you about my
favourite season - autumn. It doesn’t mean that I
don’t like summer, no; I love it because I have
holidays and a lot of fun in summer. But I also like
autumn. It is very beautiful. Look at the trees, their
leaves are yellow, red, brown, green. They fall down
on the ground slowly and the ground looks like a magic
carpet. I like to walk in autumn looking at the trees
which are so magnificent that sometimes I think it is

a fairy tale. My friends and I like to throw leaves at
each other. It’s such a fun! It is sunny autumn.
People gather crops: vegetables, fruit, wheat, rye.
But autumn isn’t often very pleasant. It can be rainy,
even snowy sometimes and cool. Then you have to put
on warm raincoats or coats, caps or hats, even
gloves, boots. I must confess that I also like
rainy weather. I have a nice pink umbrella
and it protects me from rain. I love autumn.
